Guys, you are missing the point of what "stomping" is. It's NOT indoctrination. It's group
expression. Admittedly, some it's tones are decidedly conformist. But did you hear each
kid saying what THEY wanted to be? Each was different. Each was saying they were
inspired by Obama's example. I saw nothing different than any other expression of
political freedom. It's better than the last regime's treatment of it's youth.
Fire, I respect your position. It's too bad you feel your vote must be republican in order to foster
healthy debate, however.
I believe a vote for Obama is a vote for open communication. The republican party, in my
opinion, needs to be badly stung in order to re-orient it's approach. Many of the neo-cons on this
board should be embarrassed by some of the wackiest parts of the attack dog right wing.
When Clinton was president, they refused to accede to will of the people. They launched attack
after attack until governance was virtually impossible. They supplanted YOUR democratic
system.
